And he wished
just once too often ...
always failing
in refrain
That the times
would now absolve him
for a past
he hid in shame
And he wished
one final pleading ...
an attempt
to bend the reed
To a future
unforgiving
where his hopes and dreams
— still bleed
(Sausalito: June, 1984)

Now Kurt that sounds both musical and critical at the same time. A great sense of rhyme and meter to this one and it itself sounds musical with the beat. I like the feel of it.
